Platform foundations: identity, messaging, and payments

A quick tour of the real, shipping foundation features in HOWFAR: auth, sessions, messaging primitives, and wallet top-ups.

Last updated: January 5, 2026

HOWFAR is built as a modular super-app operating system. This public site exposes only what exists in the repository today — and routes you into the app surfaces that are implemented.

Identity & Authentication: email/password and passkeys (WebAuthn) with hardened session patterns. OAuth providers are supported (Google/GitHub/Microsoft) when configured via environment variables.

Messaging: in-app messaging UI and API foundations (persistence, pagination patterns, and auth gating).

Wallet & Payments: wallet creation/management plus payment rails via Stripe Checkout and PayPal Orders (when enabled/configured).

If you are deploying in “marketing” mode, you can still ship the public site and keep authenticated features disabled until the backend is configured.
